I bought some books in order to learn the first principles of philosophy.

My reading of philosophy and history is desultory; I know so much and yet so little.

Philosophy is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and read the letters in which it is composed.

I'm interested in philosophical psychology, people like Nietzsche, Freud, Alcan, Foucault, Derrida.

I'm very passionate about philosophy and religion.

I've deliberately studied many things that I know, going in, I won't be able to assimilate. I read Plato, St. Thomas, the mystics, to exercise my mind.

I want to read Keats and Wordsworth, Hemingway, George Orwell.

Philosophy is for the few.

I don't see myself as a philosopher. That's awfully boring.
